Following is the revised proposal to define "affected members" for voting on the SAG TV/Theatrical contract. (Please see our April 8th update.) An AFTRA committee is currently studying our proposal for possible application to its Exhibit A contract, which will now be negotiated separately.
For TV/Theatrical contract voting, an "affected member" is any member in good standing who, over the previous 2 contract terms (6 years) or total years as member if less than 6 years,:
1. Performed an average of 1 day of principal work or 6 days of background work per year (or an equivalent mix thereof); OR
2. Had average TV/Th residual earnings per year equivalent to 1 principal day at scale; OR
3. Is fully vested in the SAG Producers Pension Plan and has previously worked under the TV/Th contract.
We believe this reasonably takes into account the ups and downs of the business for currently working members, and is flexible enough to include members who, while perhaps not currently working, still have a concrete stake in the negotiations.
If you're a member of SAG or AFTRA, add your name to the supporters list!
